New Swear Word


My grandsons taught me, and here it is,

a new swear word: butt-crack hole.

May it please you daily.


The nine-year-old was reading on the couch

as his five-year-old brother stood on his head

beside him, his rear end near the elder’s face.

Their conversation turned to odors,

and the rest, as they say, is anatomy, 

or philology.


I plan to use it figuratively, as in: 

Why be an angry butt-crack hole?
